Perhaps an easier next step would be to get better data about people's opinions with a simple poll? Is there a standard way to vote on things in this but it's easy and may inform what to do next.
For what it's worth, I'm a strong -1 on this whole thing, regardless of syntax. I think passing a lot of same-named parameters is an anti-pattern, that should be discouraged, not made easier. Passing an occasional x=x to so some function no disaster; if it happens often enough to be a problem, IMNSHO, you should look to change your coding style, not the language.
Look at the real-world examples that I posted and tell me what I should be doing differently, if it's an anti-pattern to be discouraged. ChrisA
